So much want.

+1 from me too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] p51d007:
I looked on Verizon's website, but it still does not show the manufacturer.

Hopefully, when this hits the states, it might open up more choices of accessories.

Kind of BS, since they already have "sold" a million, but I guess some accessory companies won't build unless the device is in the states.

Oh man that is fugly!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ricparr:
OK, I have no idea what I'm missing here. When I plug the HDMI cable into the phone, nothing happens. TV stays black and I get no prompt on the phone. What am I missing here? The cable is brand new, Andy phone is not rooted. I'm running go launcher and go locker. Any help?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shanghei:
Is it a motorola hdmi cable?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ricparr:
No, it's a rocketfish. I wondered I ft that would matter. Are HDMI cables not standardized yet?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shanghei:
I had lots of problems with the original atrix and atrix 2 using non moto hdmi.

Brand new Mediabridge HDMI cable attached to Win7 Dell laptop not working

Recently I order a brand new MediaBridge HDMI cable from Amazon from a friend for use in India in a sealed box & it did not work when I attached it to the phone & my Dell laptop. What could be the reason? Is there any symbol supposed to pop up on the phone or the laptop & on hindsight I just got thinking (gave the cable back now) in case if no symbol is supposed to pop up would directly playing a video on the phone while the hdmi cable is attached make it play on the laptop??
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
Don't want to be a smartass or anything but I hope you're selecting HDMI as the Source on your TV.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
As I mentioned I tried on my Dell laptop running Win 7....is there anything specific I needed to do besides just connecting either ends between the phone & the laptop to get the HDMI working?
[Motorola Atrix 2] HTCuser111:
I'm sure it the HDMI Micro to HDMI connection from phome to laptop will not work. Laptop HDMI should only be an output, not an input. It will work from phone to a monitor or tv. Once connected you will be prompted to make a choice on the A2 for a display mode.

I bought a Dynex cable from BB that works fine with the Atrix 2 when connected to a monitor or tv.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Thanks. Yes you are right it is a micro hdmi (phone) to regular HDMI port on the Laptop. DAYMN..they should specify to unsuspecting users like me. IMHO many people would not be aware about this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
The galaxy tab 8.9 LTE is very different from it's brothers, the 3G/Wifi 8.9 and the 10.1. It is more similar to the skyrocket. Da_G, a dev here, has worked out the root for the device and he doesn't even have one. Reason I am asking is because we need some more developers over there who actually own the device, and it seems like the logical transition would be from skyrocket development.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
Honestly, I was planning on buying the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE, and getting the OG SGS II, since I already have the Skyrocket.

How is the tab? Is it good?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
I considered it for a while, but I already have a tablet and all the people who I could have given the tablet to I knew wouldn't use it, and to me it didn't make sense to spend more money to get what I really wanted for free. Overall though it sounded like a good deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] norbarb:
I did get tablet with my skyrocket and give as gift on christmas to one of my nephew since i have two iPads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ptgptg:
is that a special offer from ATT?

nevermind. Saw it on ATT's site.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] norbarb:
Yes it is ..... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
tablet is nice, better than the old galaxy 8.9 and 10.1 with the 1.5 ghz chip and lte capabilities.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hooha23:
I got two for free...WITHOUT buying a tablet :D

/bragging

I was attempting to upgrade our phones to refurbished galaxy s2's that were on sale for $9.99 via ATT premier. The guy was nice enough to offer me a new one for the same price (week of christmas and I had already had a lot of trouble with ATT). I pushed my luck a little and asked if I could get "the other variant" of the S2 - the skyrocket. He said sure.

I wonder how hard it would be to modify a 727 rom to work on the 957...
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
I bought a Photon from a guy off CL today. It was new but one that was sent back as a warranty replacement phone. Still had the screen protector on it, the battery was in a sealed as was the back plate.

Here's my issue

When youre using the phone, about every 15 seconds, the displays shuts down. It doesnt actually shut down, it just displays nothing.. the display light at the bottom is still on and pressing the power button twice fixes it for about 15-20 seconds. Basically you have to put the screen to sleep and then wake it back up to the lock screen.

Is this a known issue or did I get a lemon? Ill probably never track this guy down again to make this right.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Have you tried chaning the display settings?

Settings >> Display >>> Screen time out increase to something else??? While you are there make sure it is not on 15second timeout????

Having the timeout at this setting would explain this weirdness?
[Motorola Photon 4G] DWake014:
Take it to the sprint store. My first off ebay was riddled with issues, second from asurion is still running flawless
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Try

Settings,Dispaly, Screen time out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
It not the screen timeout. The screen isnt actually going off.. its just going black.. the backlight stays on and the buttons stay lit up and touching the screen actually makes things happen, you just cant see them happening. Actually turning the screen off and then back on with the power button is the only way to fix it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Well, took it to Sprint and they wouldnt touch it. Told me it had to be on the account for 30 days. I doubt I have any luck getting the guy I bought it from to help me get it warrantied so I guess Im stuck with yet another Sprint POS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Took the phone to a non corporate store and talked the tech into ordering me a replacement. We discussed that phone versus the Epic 4G Touch and he agreed with me that the Photon was a far superior device from an actual phone standpoint.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Nice you lucked out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Herk_FE:
This is garbage if you have TEP there is no reason they shouldn't work on your phone...
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Rule #1. Never tell sprint you bought a phone from Craigslist or any other place besides radio shack, target, bestbuy etc. I've purchased a **** ton of CL phones so i have experience lol. When you buy a CL phone you just call to activate it and if they ask just say you got it full price from best buy. They shouldn't really ask questions. Also, if your previous phone was insured it should transfer over without question. As far as getting a replacement, you need to create an elaborate story with details and make believe issues then they'll send you out a replacement lol. They like to "troubleshoot" first.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Thanks for the advice. Ill definitely use it next time this comes up. Im hoping the Photon serves me well enough to finish out my contract and just to VZW.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Yeah mine expires feb 17th this year. Not sure if I'm staying or switching. I've definitely never had an issue getting a replacement phone for one that I purchased from CL. I hope it works out for you!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

With Sprint switching to LTE and the fact that there are Cities like Las Vegas where 3G Speeds have increased greatly has me leaning towards staying.

In truth, thanks to my EVO 3D fiasco, I have a 0 Dollar ETF so I could leave Sprint today without paying a dime. It is just after being with them for almost 13 years with a perfect Payment History really helps when it comes to getting credits, swaps, etc..

Also, I really think that the Photon is about as good as any Android Device out there. I do think the RAZR is rad and hope that Sprint gets something similar when the LTE Devices are released in June or so.

Cheers,

JJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Sprints beefing up 3G and 4G. So for cities without LTE by mid 2012 3G updates should start rolling out. Of course their goal is to have LTE coverage everywhere by 2013. As much as sprint pisses me off they by far have the best plans for voice and data.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
The coverage where I live is awful. Not to mention that Sprint has treated me like crap throughout this whole Epic 4G Touch ordeal. I seriously have almost become unemployed because of this phone and Ive gotten no sympathy from Sprint whatsoever.

I understand there are policies and stuff in place but when you have someone telling you "Look, this phone loses signal and you guys KNOW It loses signal and Ive already been written up twice at work because of this phone" youd think you'd get a little sympathy. All I got from Sprint was "Well, just reboot it when that happens" and told to go on my merry way.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
Unemployed over a cell phone?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
When people expect to be able to get in touch with you and cant, why not? Makes it look like Im not doing my job when people call me and the calls go straight to voicemail and when LoS happens on the Epic 4G Touch, thats exactly what happens.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
This is true. My supervisor calls and sends us text messages 24/7 and if my phone is going straight to voicemail it doesn't look good.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Yep and I work in IT support so a lot of times, Im in server rooms all the time and those things are like standing in wind tunnels. Its hard enough to hear a phone ring in there when its working right. When it goes LoS, I have no way of knowing until I can get somewhere and pull the phone out of my pocket.

Its Samsung.. I got sucked back in and bought another one after I swore after the Nexus S I was done with them. But, I mistakenly thought "Well, theyve had this phone out overseas for 6 months, they have the bugs worked out of it." I guess I should have considered that overseas is GSM and that added a whole new wrinkle to the equation.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
Cdma sucks period
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I'm glad it worked out for you, but I wish you would have let me handle this for you!!! I hate sprint and their BS and cuss them out every chance I get!!!!! They tried that crap and me until I went off!!!

#1. If you have T.E.P., It should not matter if you had the phone 5 minutes or 30 days, 6 months, its broke, give me a new one.

#2. If you dont have T.E.P and you did not physically break the phone, Page 141 section 4B states the phone has a one year warranty from the date of the original purchaser. Therefore, since the phone came out 08/01/2011 it is IMPOSSIBLE for you or anyone here to have had this phone for more than 6 months and 9 days!!!

They ask me the same s**t August 20th when my power button fell out. "Have you had this for longer than 30 days?"""" I cussed homeboy technican out then cussed out that manager hoe that told me it looked like I dropped it!!!

Good think happen though, after mall security came and I gave them my story, I got a brand new out the box (not referb) Photon! I did loose the $49.00 I paid for GhostArmor, but oh well.

And one last thing while I'm here. If you or whoever is reading this has T.E.P.. If something happens to your phone and you need it replaced, make sure you look under the Battery and see if you have little yellow round sticky with an 'R' in it. If it is, its a referb phone. Tell them you want a new one, thats what you paid for!!

Jerks!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
I do have TEP and I brought that up to the guy at the Sprint store and he said it didnt matter, that it was 30 days. He said anything under 30 days and it had to go back to where you got it and if you bought it from an individual, you were SOL and had to keep it on your account 30 days.

This was a refurb from Asurion.. dont know if thats a good or bad thing but it had one of their stickers inside the battery compartment.

This has pretty much become what I expect from Sprint.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I thought I was done here, I forgot. Something was going on with Photon, I asked this heffer that look like one of Michael Vick's Pitbulls a question (I really forgot what it was?) Anyway, heffer asked to see my phone. I asked why, b**ch tells me she needs to take it in the back to see if I rooted it?

If I'm smart enough to root my phone, do you think im that stupid to bring it in here? Cussed that fat (not PHAT!) a** hoe out too!!

Oddly, my mother will not even go into Sprint with me. I'm 49 years old and she makes me either wait in the car or go get some food!! Matter Fact, I'm unwelcome at AT&T too!! Everytime I cussed them out, they offered me a free iPhone. 3 years with AT&T and guess how many correct bills I got? ONE!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Us old farts are worse than the kids. Im 45 myself.. most places hate to see me coming. I just didnt have it in me to argue with the guy at the Sprint store the other day.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I ALWAYS have it in me!! @ 3 years ago, I was in Sprint with my mother. She is 74 and wanted a new BT. 2 old, old ladies in front of us. She told dude she got this filp phone and it was broke and had receipt in hand. He told her she had to send it back to the manufacture! She said ok and walked it. I could not stand there in good faith as I heard this entire conversation!!!

Walked out, got her, and explained to her dude lied. She told me its ok, she will send it back. I asked her to give me the phone and receipt and I will replace it. I cussed his a** out and got her another phone!! Thats why my mother will not go in Sprint with me!!!

If it were you or I, that manufacture crap would have never came into question. But because of their age............

androidheadlines.com/2012/01/holo-ui-required-for-all-android-4-0-devices-the-fight-against-fragmentation-continues.html

According to the article, google is making a a baseline for other android devices. A good fight against fragmentation. Let's hope this becomes a reality.
[General Topics] DarthCaniac:
Glad that they did this, but I wish they had done it sooner for OS's below Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0).
[General Topics] mhh91:
Changing the software on phones that are already shipped is a nightmare, you'd have to fix every single device out there.

IMHO, don't fix it if it's not broken, killing fragmentation is good, but it's not worth killing your product for.
[General Topics] meego-nexus:
Not sure if I agree that all the phones should be required to be the same. Looking at the hardware available today, there's a lot of "me too" phones. They're all the same: Touch screen covering the whole front, no buttons, the same camera, etc. Even Nokia used to have a wider selection of shapes and forms within its own range, than most of the manufactures combined today.

So if everything is not going to be exactly the same, app developers will have to cater to a selection of different specs. Some will have qwerty keyboards, some will have a trackball, others nothing at all. Some will have a huge screen which can fit a lot of detail, while others will have to compromise on screen real-estate.

This is the way it always have been on the PC front. The OS, and applications, especially games, always had to be tweaked to the hardware it was running on. It made life more difficult for the developers, but more satisfying for the user who could bring the software from machine to machine. The results is software which still works on platforms it was never intended for. Install a ScummVM or Doom engine on your Linux desktop, your Nokia or Android phone, and the same game files will still run fine.

Contrast this to the disaster of the IE 6, and applications written within its special and narrow specifications. Because these applications only considered one target platform, they break even on the next version of IE. Converging WWW specs have helped, but developers still have to consider many browsers when making new web sites today.

So maybe developing in a more heterogeneous environment puts the required strain on the developers to make the extra effort. It will be more expensive, take more time, and a lot more frustration, but it might also force the extra testing which is too often skipping in all software circles.

My two cents.
[General Topics] mistermentality:
@meego-nexus its not the hardware or phones that are to be the same only the user interface.

This should make things for developers much more uniform in the future.. Maybe that will free up some time to start getting some more polish on alot of the UIs we see every day

It is not like you will get AOSP skin on all devices. This only applies to buttons and text color and such in 3rd party apps to make the APPS look the same on every device

[General Topics] ebe_robert:
It would be great if all manufacturers go ahead with the AOSP Skin and provide an optional manufactures UI. :)
[General Topics] krisando:
Hopefully all vendors will update all the phones. There are some phones which still have 1.5 where the manufacturer (largely Samsung), does not release updates.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
My buddy must have a defective Nexus. He's using the stock Genie Weather widget and it still shows the sun, even at midnight.

There is no way Google would screw that up ? I thought ICS was revamped from the ground up over Gingerbread ? How could such an basic thing be overlooked ans not corrected before launch ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamontoast1291:
Considering the news and weather app wasn't changed at all since it were introduced on the nexus one, it isn't that surprising. I don't get the big with it showing a sun instead of a moon though. Does your friend get confused and think that the sun is actually out, only to be disappointed when he sees the moon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
I like to think that his friend is afraid of the sun and is now stuck in his room unable to tell whether it's safe to go outside.

On topic: I haven't experienced this, it's not something silly like having AM/PM set wrongly is it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i n f a m o u s:
Lol, I'm having a similar issue with the Genie widget also except my Genie widget still says Kim Jong Il has passed away even though that event happened last month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_myk:
No. Stock weather widget just works that way. It always showed only sun independently from current hour:) It is a little silly, but as jamontoast1291 said, it wasn't changed since it's debut in N1:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
That's insane, how could Google not update the Genie News and Weather widget since the Nexus One ? It is a very popular widget and should have been tweaked in ICS. Plus to still show the sun at midnight, and no moon is sad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McCadi:
Alright guys, whats your opinion: which rom has the best battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
AOKP + Latest Franco Kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McCadi:
Thanks. So far I've had my best with eagles blood and stock kernel. I've heard Franco's kernel has bad battery life though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jstegeman:
Sounds like an easy thing for you to test, doesn't it? Sorry to be snippy, but this is one of many similar threads. No one searches anymore, and there are many threads like this which have "it depends" as the only logical answer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwinberg:
I have been using Francos kernel, and the new baseband, with both KANG and eaglyblood, i hav ejuicedfender installed on aggrasive, but i still cant get out much from the phone, i have right now on eaglybloods latest 1.5.

Running for 22h 4min

Screen on low: 39%

OS: 15%

Phone inactive: 12%

Voicecall: 9%

Mobile rest: 6%

Android system: 6%

Mediaserver: 4%

Now i havent used it alot, turn of everything i can, when screen of running on 2g only and such, i havent used it alot, listen to music for totaly 1h 30m. No surfing and such.

What roms and kernels have you used and what have you gotten out of it?

What extra apps maybe taskkillers and such do you use or think is good to get more battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Bad battery life? Do some searching and read his kernel thread. Battery life has been amazing with his past releases. Build 7.1 are heavily exceptional builds.

Anything before that, yes the battery life hasn't been so good. But now his focus shifted onto the battery. Many people included screenshots of their battery graph.

Aokp also has a power saver mode, read into that as well :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwinberg:
I did run AOKP build 12 for 1 day, and thats how long my battry lastet with nearly no usage at all. The same with eaglyblood all on latest fran kernel, with juicedefender ultimate on agressive setting.

So how can i test and post graphs for you?

What baseband are you on?

Is there any good taskiller i can use?

Dont know what is using so much battery except the screen and i have it on very low always.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clivectmob:
I use stock 4.0.2, non rooted or unlocked bootoader, and I find the battery life better than most android phones i've used previously. However, occasionally, it gets low, then i plug it in, and later it's charged again!! As if by magic!! Also i noticed that if i turn it off completely, the battery life is aammmmaaaazzziinnngggg!!! *palms face*

sorry, these battery life threads really get my goat! On a serious note though, one nugget of knowedge that I have taken from messing with android for years is, that if you, like me in the past, have been one of these types that just cannot stop flashing roms left and right, then you will never get to see the full potential of your battery. It does depend of course more on individual usage than anything else, but, settling on a rom of choice and using it normally over the course of a week or so will see you gain an increase in capacity thereafter, just through simple calibration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apsis:
Im running AOKP v.13 with Franco's Kernel 9.2 and battery is really great, even on heavy usage. There's almost no batter drain in Sleep Mode (last night ~8 hours, the battery just dropped for 2%).

I've set up my syncs, set up AOKP's Powersave Mode to my wishes and made a ScreenOff Profile for franco's Kernel. That's all, and im still on my second battery loading cycle. Cant wait to see what will happen if it's callibrated well.

With AOKP Rom and its Powersave Mode, you dont even need Juice Defender anymore, its doing nearly the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwinberg:
Thank you, i will go back to AOKP in a few days and try build 13, i update you all :)

My battery holds 1 day 24hours, would say normal use with 2g on when screen of, 3g when screen on, i dont surf on it check facebook maybe 2 times on it, nothing more, text sms and few calls lasting maybe 40min total
